# Book a free class. Show up. Stay.

> A link in bio for martial arts and BJJ gyms: book a free class, the adult and kids schedule, open mats, belt promotions and gym hours.

The hardest step for a new student is the first class. Make it free, make it bookable, and tell them what to wear.

## Free first class

Paste a Calendly or Acuity link into [Book a time](https://makerhandle.com/features/booking): "Book a free class". It shows on your page with the times that suit beginners. Using Zen Planner, Spark Membership or Kicksite instead? Make their trial page your first link.

A line under it answers the real question: "Wear a t-shirt and shorts. We have loaner gis."

## What your page would show

**Example:** a BJJ and Muay Thai gym. The logo, "Jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai for adults and kids in Sacramento" as the bio. Then:

- **Book a free class**, Calendly on the page
- **Adult schedule** and **Kids schedule**
- **Open mat Saturday 10am**, a [scheduled link](https://makerhandle.com/features/scheduled-links) on the weeks it runs
- **Gym shop**, rash guards and gis in the [product grid](https://makerhandle.com/features/products)

Then the [opening hours](https://makerhandle.com/features/opening-hours) block with the address and a tap-to-call button for parents.

## Seminars and promotions

Hosting a seminar with a visiting black belt? A scheduled link can announce it with a countdown and take itself down after. Print the QR code on flyers at the school pickup line; scans show as "QR code" in your stats.

## See what works, on an address you own

Built-in [analytics](https://makerhandle.com/features/analytics) count visits, where they came from (Google, Instagram and Facebook) and which buttons get tapped, with no cookies and no consent banner. Scans of your QR code show up as their own source, so you can tell the printed code apart from your bio link.

On Pro, **$20 a year**, the page can live on your own domain, like sacbjj.com, and sacbjj.com/book goes straight to your booking page. Print it once and it keeps working when you change apps. Coming from Linktree? Paste it on the [import page](https://makerhandle.com/import) and your links come over in order.

## Questions
